Ingredients

  • 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • ½ small red onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces feta cheese
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 cup chopped baby spinach
  • 4 large eggs

Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2️⃣ Prepare the Base:

  1. In a large oven-safe baking dish, combine:
    • Cherry tomatoes
    • Diced red bell pepper
    • Diced red onion
    • Minced garlic
  2. Place the block of feta cheese in the center of the vegetable mixture.

3️⃣ Season the Dish:

  1. In a small bowl, mix together:
    • Dried oregano
    • Sea salt
    • Dried thyme
    • Ground black pepper
    • Red pepper flakes
  2. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the feta and vegetables.

4️⃣ Bake the Feta & Vegetables:

  • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, until the tomatoes soften and the feta starts to brown.

5️⃣ Add Spinach & Eggs:

  1. Remove the dish from the oven and stir gently, combining the melted feta with the roasted vegetables.
  2. Add the chopped baby spinach and stir to mix.
  3. Create four small wells in the mixture and crack one egg into each well.

6️⃣ Bake the Eggs:

7️⃣ Serve & Enjoy:

  1. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh basil or chives, if desired.
